Nigerian Muslims have been urged to imbibe the good teachings of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) as they celebrate his birthday.
The charge was given by President Bola Tinubu, governors, the Christian Association of Nigeria, the Peoples Democratic Party and others in their goodwill messages to mark the occasion.
Tinubu, in a statement titled, ‘Eid-el-Maulud: Tinubu Urges Muslims to Imbibe Virtues of Prophet Muhammad,’ signed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said that beyond celebrating the birthday of the Holy Prophet, the faithful should use the occasion for introspection, prayer and learning from the Prophet’s exceptional virtues.
He said, “The Muslim faithful should make a deliberate effort to adhere to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad.
“There are great lessons of devotion, perseverance, tolerance, humility and selflessness that we can all learn from the life of the Prophet.”
